<H2>3. Items for migration of the user code</H2>

Listed here is some relevant information on developments included in this
release, some of which may require minor migrations for advanced uses of
features in Geant4 in order to upgrade from release 8.1 to release 8.2.
Note that a full re-installation of libraries (or a full recompilation) and
a recompilation of user applications is anyhow required.

<P> </P>
<B>Standard Electromagnetic physics</B>
<P> </P>
Some improvements were introduced to multiple scattering, which provide
improved results for large angle scattering; better particle transport near
geometry boundaries and less cut dependence for sampling calorimeters
(see details in Physics Reference Manual).<BR>
A new class <TT>G4hMultipleScattering</TT> has been created to provide faster
simulation of hadron transport. This class uses the same multiple scattering
model configured to reduce step limitation. It is used for hadrons and ions
in most physics lists.<BR>
A new module polarization is introduced for simulation of circular polarized
beams of <TT>e+-</TT> and <TT>gamma</TT>.<BR>
The change in response of calorimeters, due to the revision of the
multiple scattering process (in its default configuration) is expected
to be less than 1%. Larger differences are seen in the revised
configuration, which does not apply most step limitations for electons and
that is used in the QGSP_EMV physics list.

<P> </P>
<B>Hadronic physics</B>
<P> </P>
Reviewed coherent elastic scattering processes: data tables are now computed
on-flight and the G4ELASTIC data set is no longer necessary.<BR>
New data sets are required for this release, see details below.

<P> </P>
<B>Physics Lists</B>
<P> </P>
The physics list module has been moved inside the <TT>source</TT> tree; as
such it is now built as part of the kernel libraries by default. The number of
libraries has been reduced to two; it is now possible to use them together
with shared libraries (or DLL on Windows) and global libraries.

<H2>5. Compilation Warnings</H2>

There may be compilation warnings on some platforms.  We do not believe
that any will lead to incorrect run-time behaviour.


<P> </P>
<A NAME="6."></A>
<HR>

<!-- ============================================== -->

<H2>6. Known Run-Time Warnings</H2>

The following message can be written to error output while tracking.
We believe it does not give rise to incorrect behaviour.
<PRE>
    G4PropagateInField: Warning: Particle is looping 
    -  tracking in field will be stopped. 
       It has performed 1000 steps in Field while a maximum of 1000
       are allowed.

    <LI><TT>G4hMultipleScattering</TT>:
        <UL>
        <LI>New class which by default has step limitation only near

        <LI>Fixed problem of genreation of NaN inside method
            <TT>SampleCosineTheta()</TT>.<BR>
            <TT>theta0</TT> parameter for <TT>SampleCosineTheta()</TT> is
            computed in a public function <TT>ComputeTheta0()</TT>.</LI>
        <LI>Adopting new approach for accessing geometrical safety,
            according to recent developments for parallel navigation.</LI>
        <LI>No <TT>z</TT> sampling in <TT>ComputeGeomPathLength()</TT> by
            default.</LI>
        <LI>Step limitation algorithm has been modified:
            <UL>
            <LI>Minimum steplimit in 8.1: <TT>tlimitmin = max(lambda/25,
                5 nanometer)</TT><BR>
                Now: <TT>tlimitmin = max(lambda/25, 1.01*stepmin)</TT><BR>
                where <TT>stepmin ~ lambda elastic</TT>.</LI>
            <LI>Introduced possibility to have extreme small step(s) before
                boundary crossing (feature not active by default); it can be
                activated by setting the data member <TT>skin</TT> to a
                non-negative value; <TT>steplimit = stepmin</TT>, if the
                distance to the boundary (in the original direction) is

                <TT>skin</TT> is set to 1 by default.</LI>
            <LI>The step restriction is weaker for particles with higher
                energy, i.e., bigger effective <TT>facrange</TT> value is used
                in this case; in 8.0/8.1 this scaling depended on <TT>Tkin</TT>,
                in the new version the scaling depends on <TT>lambda</TT>,
                giving smaller material dependence.</LI>
            </UL></LI>
        <LI>Angular distribution has been changed:
            <UL>
            <LI>Single/plural scattering for <TT>step &lt;= stepmin</TT> (in

            <LI>Parameter <TT>theta0</TT> has been (sligtly) modified.</LI>
            <LI>The tail of the distribution has been modified, now the
                parameter describing the tail is material (i.e. <TT>Z</TT>)
                dependent.</LI>
